C32 100k Miles Plug Change - Should i Use Old Wires?
So im going to change my plugs this weekend....

car is a C32 100k miles and 10 years old....but running sweet.

ive heard horror stories about magnecor so im going to stay standard.

should i just chance my old wires?

new standard wires from mercedes here in UK is £300 ($465)

What do you reckon?

pay a fortune for new benz ones or chance my old ones??

Cheers

Not sure how much shipping will be, but that looks a lot better than $465.

I just replaced my Magnecors with an aftermarket OEM set made by Karlyn/Sti. They are made in Germany and only cost $138 (off ebay). The wires seemed like a quality product, went in perfectly, and the car in running great now. I have no complaints.

Bosch is the OEM, so why not order the Bosch part from a supplier? I did for an M113.

I just checked, the North American Bosch part number is 09849 and costs $128 (US). Unfortunately, I have no idea how to look up Bosch UK parts. If you can't find it, RockAuto.com ships worldwide and they have them.
